Morgan's Midsummer Coupe: Pininfarina-Designed, BMW-Powered Nine-Unit Limited Run

Morgan teams with Pininfarina to turn the Midsummer roadster into a fixed-roof coupe featuring a glass canopy with a central spine, taller doors, and exclusive 19-inch forged wheels. The interior is luxuriously trimmed; power comes from BMW's B58 inline-six driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed ZF automatic (engine output not specified in the article). Weight is just 2.5% more than the Supersport with a hardtop. Only nine cars will be built, and pricing is expected to exceed the roadster’s starting point (north of £200k).

Morgan Supersport 400: BMW-tuned 402 HP roadster with 3.6s 0–62

Morgan sharpens its Supersport with the 400 model, boosting output to 402 hp from the turbocharged BMW B58 inline-six while keeping the car’s 2,579 lb curb weight. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight‑speed automatic, improving 0–62 mph to 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph. The update adds forged 19-inch wheels, improved front wing vents for engine breathing, a bespoke exhaust, and standard 24‑way adjustable dampers, with a removable hardtop or fabric roof. It remains manual-less and pricey: €138,958 in Europe and £112,965 in the UK before taxes, with options that can push another ~£31,000 (including a limited-slip diff and aluminum shifter). A UK configurator is available for buyers to tailor the car.
